What a great mini vacation for our family! We needed a mid-week Spring Break getaway for me 4 kids to work around our schedule, and this fit the bill! The house is beautiful, clean, and right on the water. The pictures do not do it justice. All of my kids loved kayaking around--it was very safe! My teens stayed in the two master bedrooms giving them a little privacy, while I shared the loft with my younger kids. The owners thought of everything, from well-stocked bathrooms and kitchen, to life jackets and a fire pit. A calm, peaceful vacation. The lack of good cell coverage was a plus--my teens stayed off their phones the whole time. Bring your family to this beautiful home. You won't be disappointed.

Location, location! Whole family had fun- cozy DVD’s for downpour, beach combing and never-ending pickle ball at the park. Thank you for hosting a memorable stay.

Everything was perfect. we walked around the island when tide was low and jumped in the water when the tide was high. The cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need. It’s very cozy,comfortable, and picturesque. We absolutely we’ll be back. Thank you!

We loved our stay on Herron Island. The days and evenings were quiet and peaceful. We kayaked around the island and hiked around at low tide the next day. The home was old-fashioned but updated enough. Everything was clean and very comfortable. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen (spices and tools) and the clean grill. It was all lovely.

We have stayed here once before in 2020 and again in Aug 2022. Property is exactly as described and has everything you need! Many games and movies provided. Views are to die for and kayaks/paddle boards are provided. Seeing the deer is always a big hit for the kids. There is a pretty good playground in the middle of the island (walkable with kids from the house) and another one at N Beach. So many cool tiny sea creatures to see and explore at low tide. The property manager is very responsive via text during our stays.

Everything was just as described and pictured. Beautiful setting and right on the water. Hostess had thought of everything to make our stay so comfortable. Walked the island everyday, fed the deer and slept the best in months. Great way to spend time with the family with no social media to distract anyone

Great beach, comfy house, lovely quiet island, well stocked kitchen, lovely communication with the property owner!

Our family was looking for the perfect getaway to slow down and enjoy time together. This was it! Our kids loved the loft as their little oasis, the massive deck was perfect for spending time outdoors, the kitchen was well stocked, and the island was perfect for long walks. All in all, a great mini-vacation for us. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our 3 nights of family time at Donn's house. The listing needs to be updated to say that the pellet stove is no longer functional because we spent a LOT of time trying to get it to work before texting Jeanie to find out it's been retired. It was no problem, however, because the electric heat pump kept us nice and toasty. The kitchen had everything we needed. The shower was great, appreciated the bulk soap and shampoo. LOVED not having wi-fi and watching all of those great VHS movies! Although, previous tenants were remiss not to rewind, so we educated our teens on VCR etiquette...ha! Please be kind, rewind! The six beds ranged from very soft to very hard, definitely had a bed type for every person in our family. The location was beautiful. We really enjoyed the peace and serenity of being on Herron Island. We loved walking on the beach at low tide and going on to the beach at night after the fog set in, it was super fun and spooky.

We loved our Herron Island getaway and Don’s place! The house was comfortable and felt like plenty of room for the six of us. Loved eating outside on the deck, kayaking, walking around the island, watching movies and playing games. The island was very quiet! It was great to unplug.

My family and I stayed here for a week and loved it. We walked around the island at low tide, played pickle ball at the park, swam at the beach, kayaked, paddleboarded and fed the deer! The communication with both the owner and hostess was fantastic. Thank you!

Super nice house with deck and water access. Highly recommend.

We were looking for a property near the water for a girls/birthday/much needed break....this place was perfect....clean and cute home with an amazing view of the water. It was so peaceful and quiet...being on a private island definitely helped with that! Use of kayaks made for an enjoyable paddle around the island. The local deer were very friendly....they sure like to be fed! Both the owner and hostess were very responsive and helpful! We all agree that this is one place we will return too!

Our family of four enjoyed a few days at this house feeding deer, beach combing and kayaking. The house is well stocked and communication was top notch. The lack of WiFi was a blessing! Pro tip- bring extra deer food as they are wonderfully friendly!

Our family (2 adults and two children- 9 year olds) visited the island and stayed at this property over the 4th of July. This property is paradise! Even more lovely than the photos. It has a vintage and well apportioned kitchen. Spacious, adorable loft for the kids. Every day deer came to visit us and we hand fed them apples from the apple tree in the front yard and pet them. We swam in the beach, ride our bikes, played board games, kayaked. South Beach is quiet and pristine. North Beach is a blastoff kids- dock and designated swimming area. I cannot recommend this vacation home enough. So lovely!!

The property and Herron Island are absolutely wonderful. One of the best family vacations in long time. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful views of the water. Very relaxing. Would recommend to others.

This was a perfectly beautiful getaway location for our family vacation. Gorgeous home and island with great communication from the owner. Highly recommended!

This was just what we needed for a relaxing, slow-paced getaway. The house was very clean and comfortable, kitchen was very well stocked with your most common cooking and baking needs. The stove and oven are an interesting adventure back into the 1950s -- but worked perfectly fine. The outdoor deck and landings down to the water offered fantastic views and plenty of Adirondacks for everyone (only 3 of us but we each had about 3+ chairs to choose from!). We walked part of the island and made use of the north side public beach (less big rocks/barnacles, but no shade) as well as the great beach on the property. And the locals weren't kidding around when they told us to get to the ferry at least 30 min before leaving island. We still had to wait 2 cycles since it's a small ferry. Plus side - it was like roving happy hour in the wait. Made several new friends and invitations to BBQ when we come back! We will definitely be staying here again.

Our family had an amazing time walking the beach, seeing orcas, kayaking, feeding the deer, and taking in the breathtaking views. Wonderful location. House outfitted with everything you need. 5 stars!

This is a great place to relax and unwind. The cottage has plenty of room, the kitchen has all the equipment needed to make meals and the best part is the view from the deck.

Walk around the beach was excellent. We were a little nervous about getting stuck due to the tide so we started about an hour before low tide. It was perfect. We walked at a leisurely pace and it took us about an hour and a half.The place was very clean and the owner/caretaker was perfect and timely with the text messages.Thanks again for allowing us to share some quality family time in your home.

Donn was very communicative and understanding of our booking situations. We will definitely book a trip with him in the near future!

We loved our stay here. It's a great place to disconnect and relax. It was comfortable, the kitchen had all that well needed, we enjoyed sitting by the fireplace on these chilly nights, walking around the island and encountering deer.

This was the perfect social distancing location. Plenty to do with the park close by, kayak's, paddle board, beach walks, games, movies, etc. The communication was amazing! We loved having the deer greet us every day and the abundance of sea life as well. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We had such a wonderful stay - we especially enjoyed using the kayaks and paddleboards and eating out on the deck for every meal! We had 8 total with the kids...my only piece of advice for anyone with the full party of 8 is that the kitchen table is really only for 4 people. No problem for us as it was beautiful out and we ate outside the entire time. And make sure to bring beach chairs. We loved it - the kids want to come back every year! :)

This beach cabin was the perfect getaway that our family needed. Our kids loved the sleeping loft, reading nook, and VHS collection! The open living space was great for keeping an eye on our two young ones while enjoying the view of the water from nearly every room. We enjoyed the ferry ride over, the quietness of the island, beautiful North Beach park, and all that Herron Island offered. We had fun using the SUPs and kayaks too. We can't wait to come back soon!

Our family really enjoyed our time at this cabin. It was a cute and cozy place to get away from it all and enjoy time together as a family playing on the water, coffee and meals out on the deck and lots of time cuddled up watching movies. The owner and manager were great about answering questions and checking in to make sure we had everything we needed.

Everything was as listed and all of us enjoyed our stay.

This house was perfect for us and Jeanie could not have been more wonderful.

We booked this with the intention of a quiet getaway and did not disappoint. We were welcomed with a young deer awaiting us to feed it. We completely relaxed into the serene environment that this cabin provides. Will be coming back for sure.
